My SO and I are arguing about either putting up a tree (him) or decorating a small plant (a norfolk tree I have) for Christmas like I did last year. We have 2 kitties, but haven't put up a tree since we brought them home. I have a lot of sentimental and fragile ornaments I don't want destroyed, and I have an odd feeling that Olivia (kitty) in particular will be in the tree while Maynard (other kitty) will spend his time meticulously ripping each ornament down to play with. What should we do ppk? Maybe it's time for a Christmas ladder!

I thought of this thread today...

Our older cat, Mido, never really thought twice about the Christmas tree, but our younger cat, Momo, immediately jumped inside it when we brought it home. Though a few sprays with some water taught him (we hope) to keep away. He was nearly soaking wet once the message finally got across, though.

I think we're going to be ornament-free this year. It's like a cat tower filled with toys to him!

We're just decorating a big houseplant we have with plush ornaments from Etsy shops (like Panda with Cookie). By the end of last holiday season, the cats had napped so much IN the tree that most of our ornaments had been smashed and there was pine needles everywhere.
